Buffalo Max

Betting less on Buffalo Max doesn't always drop you a tier right away. The Qualifying Bet is the greater of your current wager or your last five spins averaged, so that Payback Level meter can lag behind what you just staked.

Bonus Times

Bonus Times is a real Bally S9000 cabinet, not a video slot: three physical reels under a top-mounted screen, chrome trim, and 2x/5x/10x multiplier symbols that scale up whatever lines up on the single payline. There's no bonus round or feature screen here -- every payout comes straight off the line hits, which is part of why Know Your Slots calls it 'sufficiently volatile.' Some floors also run it with a standalone progressive jackpot bolted on, and identical machines a few feet apart can show wildly different progressive amounts -- so check the meter before you assume it matches the cabinet next to it.

Double Blessings

Double Blessings picked up where Dancing Drums left off: same Reel Ways layout, same progressive Fu Babies jackpot, but a free-spins bonus locked to a flat 8 spins and base pays trimmed about 10%. Land 3, 4, or 5 bonus symbols and you get those spins with expanding reels -- reviewers call it the tougher sequel, and player reports back that up, ranging from complaints that all 8 spins paid nothing to a four-figure hand pay on the major jackpot.

Double Gold

Double Gold is IGT's classic three-reel, single-line stepper slot on the S2000 cabinet platform -- but IGT has also released a separate 5-reel, 20-payline video-slot version under the same name, so a photo alone won't tell you which configuration you're looking at. The 'Double Gold' name has also been reused or extended by other makers and titles (AC Coin & Slot's 'Slotto Double Gold,' IGT's own 'Pinball Double Gold'), so don't assume every 'Double Gold' cabinet shares the base game's paytable or RTP.

Easy Money

Easy Money is a Scientific Games (Light & Wonder) title on the WMS Blade cabinet, one of two inaugural games in a revived Barcrest series that began appearing at Red Rock Station in 2016. It's a 3-reel mechanical stepper explicitly pitched to fans of IGT's Top Dollar, built around a take-it-or-leave-it Easy Money Bonus: land three Bonus symbols and choose to accept or decline offers of 10 to 1,000 credits, guided by a comedic announcer voice. It's a confirmed physical cabinet, tracked by community sightings at casinos including Talking Stick Resort and Island Resort & Casino.

Fireball

Fireball is a real Bally Technologies cabinet, not an online-only game. Land three or more Fireball scatters and the machine shouts FIREBALL while a row of flames climbs the main screen, pointing you up to the top box -- where a launched fireball hits one of eight linked mini-game jackpots. It's still turning up on casino floors today, most recently tagged at MotorCity Casino in Detroit.

Gold Bar 7s

Gold Bar 7s is a mechanical-reel IGT slot still tracked on real casino floors and cruise ships today, not a retired title -- land a full screen of same-color stacked 7s for the game's 'blackout' pattern pay, or step through three fixed bet levels (27/81/135 credits) to add 7s pays and wild substitutions. A 2021 refresh, Gold Bar 7s Respin, adds a lock-and-respin twist that chases a gold or silver jackpot.

Gorilla Chief

WMS built Gorilla Chief on the Bluebird 1 cabinet back in 2010, and on units carrying the linked progressive, the jackpot isn't left to chance -- it's set to pay out before the meter clears $50 (mini) or $150 (maxi). Stack that against the Hot Hot Super Re-Spin, a 15x-line-bet add-on that locks reel 1 for two guaranteed re-spins when it lands stacked, and you've got a paid bonus sitting on top of an already-generous jackpot structure.

Great Africa

Great Africa is a 5-reel, 30-line Bally Technologies game (now part of Light & Wonder) still active on real casino floors, with a player-reported free-games bonus that can pay out 100 spins in one hit. Watch the manufacturer credit closely: a separate, unrelated 'Great Africa' from Konami Gaming shares the exact same title on a different cabinet, so RTP or bonus details you find for one should never be assumed to apply to the other.

Hot Hit

Hot Hit isn't a single cabinet, it's a brand IGT has run since 2015 -- from the S3000 mechanical-stepper cabinet the series launched on to newer video-slot cabinets and route-casino VLT terminals. Across the titles where the mechanic is documented, the tell is red 'Hot Hit' symbols on the reels: land enough of them on one spin and you trigger the progressive, no meter to build up first.

Lotus Flower

Lotus Flower is an IGT reel slot you'll find on real casino floors, not just in an online lobby -- land three, four, or five scattered dragonflies and a free-spins round opens up, with lotus symbols turning wild through every retrigger. One retailer's product listing puts the retriggerable ceiling at 360 free spins in a single round.

Lucky Ducks

Lucky Ducks (also marketed as Lucky Ducky) is a VGT Class II bingo machine, not a standard reel slot -- every outcome comes from VGT's Live-Call Bingo system running underneath the reels. Watch for the Red Screen: on some winning spins the screen flashes red and locks in a re-spin, and on cabinets with the slide-open top case, you can land the carnival-themed Pick a Duck bonus for extra credits.

Lucky O'Leary Jackpots

Lucky O'Leary Jackpots is a real Konami cabinet, first shown on the curved 43-inch Concerto Crescent screen at ICE Totally Gaming in February 2018. Land at least one red or blue pot of gold on each of the three reels and you trigger the Jackpot Feature -- match all-red or all-blue across the reels for a bigger tier than a mixed hit. Catch 3 to 6 scatter-style bonus symbols instead and you get 8 free games. It's still turning up on casino floors years after launch, tagged as recently as late 2023 at Caesars Palace, Tropicana Atlantic City, and Fallsview Casino Resort.

Mr. Money Bags is a 3-reel, single-payline VGT cabinet dating back to 2001, running on VGT's Live-Call Bingo system instead of a standard RNG. Land the cigar-smoking wild next to a winning line and your payout doubles automatically. The wide-area Easy Money Jackpot linked to this cabinet has paid out over $600,000 in a single hit -- and the Red Screen bonus that can trigger it is pure chance, not something worth waiting out.
